What does MI stand for in MI paste?

Answer 1

MI (minimal intervention) Paste is the only product for professional use containing the active ingredient RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP), a special milk-derived phosphopeptide that binds calcium and phosphate to tooth surfaces, plaque and surrounding soft tissue and replaces lost minerals in the teeth, making them stronger and helps protect them from decay and erosion. Casein Phosphopeptide (CPP) are natural occurring molecules which are able to bind calcium and phosphate. Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP) is also the source of calcium and phosphate. MI paste is a water-based, sugar-free créme that is applied directly to the tooth surface or oral cavity. MI Paste with RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) restores the oral mineral imbalances that cause demineralization by replacing minerals while improving saliva flow and fluoride uptake as well as soothing sensitive surfaces - making it an ideal treatment for:

• Reversing tooth sensitivity and restoring enamel gloss after whitening procedures
• Relieving dry mouth caused by certain medications
• Reducing high oral acid levels from excessive soft drink consumption
• Reversing tooth sensitivity before and after professional cleaning
• Reducing high oral acid levels - sometimes a consequence of pregnancy
• Buffering acids produced by bacteria and plaque
• Regular conditioning during orthodontics, during and after bands or brackets have been removed, to prevent and reverse white spot lesions
• Providing a topical coating for patients suffering from erosion, caries and conditions arising from xerostomia
